All ADX Forex Trading Strategy

    Trading trends is a market approach that traders always gun for, as they look for ways to take advantage of directional markets.

    Nevertheless it has sometimes proven difficult to not only find but also time entries into those trends.

    The All ADX Forex Trading strategy is designed to help make the above stated process less cumbersome and traders can carefully spot the best market trends.

    Pivotal to this strategy is the all ADX indicator, a technical tool that displays three important lines i.e. the gold (ADX line), green (DI+ or plus directional movement index) and red (DI- or minus directional movement index).

    We’ve added a horizontal line at the 20 level to denote weak or strong trends depending on the orientation of the ADX line below or above this level respectively.

    Long Entry Rules

    Enter a bullish trade if the following indicator or chart pattern gets put on display:

    1. If the green line (DI+) of the all-adx-indicator breaks above the red line (DI-) as shown on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be driven higher, i.e. a trigger to go long on the designated currency pair. The trend is said to be strong at periods where the DI+ line breaks above the 20 horizontal level.
    2. If the line of the fx-sniper Metatrader 4 forex indicator turns medium sea green as depicted on Fig. 1.0, bulls are said to be taking a market lead, hence a buy order will do.

    Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 2-3 pips below the most recent swing low price.

    Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry

    Exit or take profit from all trades if the following rules or conditions takes precedence:

    1. If the green (DI+) line of the all-adx-indicator intersects the red line (DI-) while a bullish trend is ongoing, bulls power is said to be weaning, as such an exit or take profit will suffice.
    2. If the fx-sniper indicator line reverts to red while a bullish trend is running (see Fig. 1.0), it is indicative of a bearish reversal, therefore an exit or take profit is recommended.

    1.

The trend is said to be strong at periods where the DI- line hovers above the 20 horizontal level.
    2. If the line of the fx-sniper Metatrader 4 forex indicator turns red as seen on Fig. 1.1, bears are said to be taking a lead in the market, hence a sell order will suffice.

    Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry

    Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage:

    1. If the red (DI-) line of the all-adx-indicator crosses the green (DI+) line during a bearish signal as indicated on Fig. 1.1, bears power is said to be halting, as such an exit or take profit is recommended.
    2. If the fx-sniper indicator line reverts to medium sea green during the course of a bearish trend, it is suggestive of a bullish reversal, therefore an exit or take profit is advised.
